After a recent preview, theres' now a detailed look at Extra Butter's newest creation.
The NYC-based retailer chose to put their take on the returning Reebok Ventilator. Dubbed the 'Street Meat' edition, this pair draws inspiration from halal food carts, which became famous in the '90s. They come in a walnut, desert khaki, brown and gold colorway. This pair sports a premium 'euphoria' nubuck upper in colors from various foods such as lamb, chicken, and falafel. The speckled midsole represents oblong yellow rice while the outsole resembles undercooked chicken.
Other details include a lettuce green arch support foot bridge, mismatched red and white stripes on the medial and lateral sides, and extra lace options for the infamous red and white sauce which feature a hit of reflective 3M on the lace stay for an added pop. Finishing things off is a hybrid 'reEBok logo' which represents both brands as well as a custom keychain and insoles.
The 'Street Meat' Reebok Ventilator will be available exclusively in-store at Extra Butter's Lower East Side location on Friday, Feb. 6. The Rockeville Center location and online shop will release the sneakers on Saturday, Feb. 7.
